This time, we’re looking for songs founded on mistruths. This can be as simple as claiming not to care when you really do or as complicated as tying a statement to an obviously false or impossible condition (when they grow cantaloupes on Mars, when you see me walk on water, when pigs fly) as a means of establishing its untruth. As always, you’re welcome to make your own additions in the Comments section.
- The Grass is Blue – Dolly Parton
- I Don’t Care – Blake Shelton
- I’m Over You – Keith Whitley
- I’ve Forgotten You – Rhonda Vincent
- Missing You – Brooks & Dunn
- Not That I Care – Willie Nelson
- She Thinks I Still Care – George Jones
- Cantaloupes on Mars – Sammy Kershaw
- I Won’t Need You Anymore – Randy Travis
- If I Don’t Love You (Grits Ain’t Groceries) – George Jones
- Ocean Front Property – George Strait
- When Pigs Fly – Kellie Coffey
“When” by Shania Twain off of Come On Over jumps out at me.
“Trying To Find Atlantis” by Jamie O’Neal is also a favorite of mine.
Maybe “Love Ain’t Like That” by Faith Hill works? Almost…
“Flowers On The Wall” comes to mind. I’ll have to think about it to see if I can remember anymore that you haven’t listed.
Cool idea, I don’t have any to ad at this time. Unless Catherine Britt’s “The Upside Of Being Down” works, I’m not sure if it does.

love your playlists… how about 2 playlists for election week… a protest/labor union list for the libs… an ass-kickin’ go american list for the repubs!
When The Grass Grows Over Me – George Jones
I Don’t Remember Loving You – John Conlee
She Thinks I Still Care – George Jones
Thought of another:
Buicks to the Moon – Alan Jackson
Would “Thanks A Lot” fit?
I think so, Leeann. Thanks a lot for the addition… seriously.
